Was it the students, or was it the engineers?

If you have never tried a similiar approach, how do you know if it doesn't work? You may have speculations, but on what grounds are you able to tell another team how they should and should not be run? There is no right way to run a team and even if it didn't work out well, at least they tried something new.
